Welcoming the announcement, EAP Cricket Cup Tournament Director Russell James said ASCO's involvement demonstrated the ability of the event to capture the imagination of local businesses throughout Vanuatu "ASCO has been a strong supporter of sport in Vanuatu for a number of years, and it is extremely pleasing that they will now join the EAP Region and the Vanuatu Cricket Association as it stages this exciting event" said Mr James.
